Get your game face on – FlySafair’s R4-sale is happening tomorrow!

You have until 09h00 tomorrow (May 17) to decide where in South Africa you’re going and who you’re taking, because – you guessed it – FlySafair’s crazy-cheap flights are up for grabs again, and you’d have to be even crazier than our sale not to be planning your next trip.

That’s right, from 09h00 tomorrow, 30 000 tickets on selected flights between 18 May and the end of September 2018 will be made available for just R4. The sale will last until 17h00 or until the last ticket is sold.

The R4 tickets are only available through FlySafair’s website and not the airline’s call centre, ticket sales offices or any of their distribution partners – so to avoid disappointment make sure you head online.

If you’ve participated in previous years’ sales, you’ll know that the competition to get your hands on one of these tickets is tight, but thousands of people will walk away with R4 flights today – and the more staying power you have, the more likely it is you’ll be one of them.

Here’s how it will work – at the start of the sale a number of shoppers will be randomly selected from the group of online users logging on to the FlySafair website.

Selected shoppers will then be allowed to enter the airline’s website where they will need to complete their purchase immediately, otherwise their session will expire. Tickets can only be reserved by completing payment.

If you haven’t yet been selected, make sure you remain in FlySafair’s online lounge, as a new group will be selected at random to enter the site every five minutes. And different groups will continue to be selected right up until the last ticket is sold.

If you’re wondering whether these R4 tickets include airport taxes – the answer is yes they do. They also include carry-on luggage as per FlySafair’s Lite Fare option. Other optional extras are excluded from the ticket.

Also important to note is that FlySafair’s website will be closed just before the sale to prepare for the start of the crazy sale.

If you need to complete a normal booking, don’t panic about not being able to access the website, simply contact FlySafair’s call centre – our administration fee will be dropped for the day. You will also still be able to make changes to existing bookings online.

So stock up on some snacks and start flexing those fingers – the fun is about to begin!
